The Harlem Globetrotters #GlobieFamily





The Harlem Globetrotters love seeing families laugh together during our games, and would love to see your family when we come to a city near you.  If you’re looking for an awesome event the whole family will enjoy, get your tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters “You Write the Rules” tour.  Your family’s smiles will start before you even get to the game because this year, your family can vote at harlemglobetrotters.com, and decide rules for the game like two balls in play at the same time that could affect the final outcome. After the game, Globetrotters will stay on court to sign autographs and take photographs with your kids.  The only thing better than finding an event the whole family will enjoy, is getting a great deal on it.  Save $7 per ticket* by using the promo code “TOGETHER“.  Get ready to experience a show your family will remember for a lifetime!
*Discount available on select ticket levels



Here's something you should know about me(if you don't already!), I love doing new things with my family! I'm always on the lookout for fun stuff to let my kids experience, so when i heard about The Harlem Globetrotters were coming to Austin, i knew i wanted to take my kiddos.

I first heard about the Globetrotters when i was in grade school. Attending a show was one of the bigger prizes you could get if you sold X amount of junk from those catalogs. Well, saleswoman i am not, so i did not get to go. To this day i have never been to a Globetrotters game, so i am so excited to experience this right along with my children! As if seeing their smiles wasn't enough, right?

Because The Harlem Globetrotters are all about bringing families together, they are offering a $7 per ticket discount, how awesome is that!? Click the link above and see when The Globetrotters are coming to your town, and don't forget to use promo code "TOGETHER" to get your $7 discount!!! Check back in a few weeks after we've gone to the game to see what our experience was like!!

*DISCLOSURE* I am a Globetrotter's Affiliate Blogger. In exchange for this post, i have received free tickets to the show. Reguradless, all opinions are my own and 100% honest.

WRRY Free Skincare Review and Giveaway

Have you heard of WRRY Free Skin Care? I never had, but i was provided with some products to review and i must say i am impressed. Here's an excerpt from the website,

WRRYFree Skin Care is a dream come true for the founder William R. Reynolds Young, because of his passion to be an entrepreneur like many others in his extensive family. The name WRRYFree is a play on words with two different meanings.  The products we carry are "worry free"  because every product is clean, safe, and effective for all ages.  The missing "o" in the phrase "worry free" is a pun: WRRY are the initials of the company's founder William R. Reynolds Young.

 
I was provided 3 full size samples. First the Climb On! Lip Lube. It works amazing for chapped lips, but my favorite thing is that they recommend several different uses! 

"Like all of our products, our Lip Tube is multi-purpose. Put it under your eyes for a pick-me-up, use for tissue nose, great on mosquito bites and of course for chapped lips! We use it under (not in) our eyes to moisturize and for a quick pick-me-up. Rub it on your temples if you have a headache. The smell of Peppermint essential oil is said to stimulate and refresh"

I of course used it on my lips, but i also put on my knuckles. Since the weather is so cold and i wash my hands a gazillion times a day, my knuckles are so dry and cracked. The Climb On! Lip Lube worked wonders. Within a few days of applying it to my bleeding knuckles, they are nearly healed! 

Second product i tried was the Bast! Face Tonic and Spritz. The bottle suggests to use it after washing your face, which i did and it really gives you that clean feeling. It also suggests to use it as a sort of "pick-me-up" for your face thoughout the day, and let me tell you, it makes your face feel rejuvenated! It sort of tingles for a minute or so but after that, your face feels amazing!

Last was The Bug Drug. If you didn't know, i live in Austin, Texas. Ever heard the saying "Everything's bigger in Texas"? Well, that includes the bugs, mainly the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are so big that sometimes i worry they might carry my kids away. We only got to use it a few times before it got cold, but i did notice a HUGE decrease in mosquitoes flying around and NO bites!! Here's the description from the website,

'Shake well. 100% Pure, chemical free insect repellant. Non-toxic, biodegradable, super effective. Great for kids and adults. Our Bug Drug was tested kayaking on the sounds of south island New Zealand where the sand flies are HORRENDOUS! We know it works. Super effective on mosquitos, sand flies, ants and other biting insects. Good for you, good for the environment--not so good for the mosquitos! Our Bug Drug uses Catnip essential oil which research proves is 10 x more powerful than Deet. Compare with other natural brands and you'll rarely find Catnip used since is it very expensive. We want only the best for you and your family!'


If your in the market for some all natural skin care products, i highly suggest you give WRRY Free a try.  Because the people at WRRY Free Skin Care are so wonderful, they are giving one of my fans a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to their site to use how you please! Enter below!

Juppy Review and Giveaway


OK, i know you've seen it. That parent holding the hands of their baby while the baby is just learning to walk. I've been that parent. As exciting as it is to have your baby learning to walk, it gets tiring bending over constantly. Well Juppy is the solution!

The Juppy is a harness with adjustable straps that holds your child up while they learn to walk, but allows the parent to stand up straight! It seriously a genius idea! My daughter was just beginning to take steps when we got our Juppy but she loved the juppy because it gave her confidence! She knew she wasn't going to tumble over so she took off running!!

The Juppy is 100% cotton and comes with a neat little carrying bag that fits in the diaper bag or even your purse! They also personalized our Juppy and i must say i was impressed that there wasn't a loose string to be seen. They are sturdy and well made. Its also really easy to get your baby in. The back zips up and also has velcro straps on top of the zipper to give your child the best fit. The hand grips are really soft too so its made for comfort all around!


If your child is crawling or standing, i highly suggest the Juppy. It will make your life soo much easier! Check out their website and also the Facebook page for additional information and updates! The sweet folks from Juppy are also giving a personalized Juppy away to one of YOU!!
